    Damn! I missed it. Now I'll no doubt be last in the next race ;-)

    That's interesting. It made a dramatic difference for me.

    Mobile Client - issue with Sony Eriksson phone(s)
    Board » Technical Support
    Tonight I used the mobile client for the first time on my phone. The chart display was virtually unreadable on all zoom settings, making the client impossible to use. By the time I could get to my laptop my boat was already way past the mark and I had to double back - losing over 15 miles and a lot of places.

    After some trial and error I found the problem. In my Sony Eriksson W810i phone there is an option in the Advanced menu (only available when viewing a webpage) called 'Smart-Fit'. This is turned on by default. Turning this option off fixed the problem. This had not caused problems before with other webpages so I don't know why it should only affect SOL.

    I hope this info can be of use to other people with the same phone (and maybe other Sony Ericsson phones).

    I had a bit of a rant in the chat room earlier. Apologies for that but I felt so annoyed at the time.

    Thanks for the link. I didn't know about that!!!

    The old placings in the Orno race appear, then disappear, then re-appear, then...

    "there will not be wind enough to come close to the best times in either race till sometime Wed., June 24."

    I would echo that.

    I would disagree with leaving timed races open indefinitely though. At the same time I think the time/date that timed races will be closed should be announced right at the start, not decided arbitrarily afterwards.

    Good question - I was wondering the same thing. In the Orno race I have raced three times so far, finishing in #209, #89 and #52. For some reason #52 is not showing up anymore.

    Edit - Now #52 *is* showing up! What's going on?

    Edit again - Now #52 has disappeared again!!!

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!

Roma Giraglia Regata 2026

Our eighth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil – is another buddy-up; this one with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . Founded in 1984, as the new Traiano yacht Harbour neared completion, the Circola since then has developed into one of the major yachting competition centres in Italy, and next to the 450nm Roma per Tutti (which SOL buddied earlier in the year), the Roma Giraglia Regata is its other headline offshore event. First raced in 2005, the 210nm course takes competitors from Traiano to a rock on the inside of the Ile de la Giraglia off the northern tip of Corsica and back to the Italian mainland for a finish in the bay of Santo Stefano. We’re racing this one in our Class 40!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.
